trinityofoneHi, remember me? I'm the girl who yesterday almost broke the backs of two strong young women schlepping books to the post office, and was then charged 219 euro to ship said books. And yet, when I saw that it was going to be impossible to get into the Trinity shop for a while because the place is cluttered up with tourists, what did I do? I went to my favorite used bookshop (the one near Sheppard's Hairdressing), and I bought books.
*facepalm*
In fairness, I only got The Secret History because everyone has been recommending it to me, and How Many Miles to Babylon? because![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
siriaeve recommended it to me. And I was very good and didn't snag the nice, cheap copies of The Alexandria Quartet (because I think my mom has it) or The Ambassadors (because I think I have it). I was totally reasonable, really!
*headdesk*
But I'm going to read them on the plane, so that makes it okay. Yes.
